According to police and witnesses there was some kind of altercation between Matthew "Maddie" Smith, 25, and Schriber leading up to Smith stabbing Schriber multiple times in the neck.

Smith was born male, but is transgender and now identifies as Maddie.

Smith took the stand on Thursday in her own defense.

“He was going around demanding affection from several women at the party,” Smith said.

Smith says Schriber was aggressive on many occasions, groping trying to touch her and other women at the party,” Smith said. "He positioned himself in the doorway in a way that I couldn’t walk around or avoid him."

From there, Smith says she is unclear of the sequence of events that left Eric Schriber dead.
